| They are the only boots that I will wear. They are a quality boot that fits great! I'm not sure why the previous poster referred to them as junk!
Feel free to message me if you have any questions because I am a dealer for them. |

Location: Texas | I have some and really like them. They hold up good. There are different levels of Anderson Beans. They have the regular brand and then the HP (horsepower ) line. The HP line are a little lower quality but at a more affordable price. They also have the Macie Beans and I don't know much about them at this point. I just bought a pair because they were really pretty and I probably won't make them barn or riding boots for a while. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I fell in love with some Macie Beans and posted about them a few months ago before I bought them. A lot of people said they were uncomfortable or fell apart. I was sad because they were sooooo cute. I have never been able to try any on so I was going to have to order. I have wide feet too. Hoping I can try some on this weeekend. |

If you have wide feet, you'll probably love them. I got a pair of the Macie Beans when they first came out because I thought they were pretty (and I still do). They're a nice quality boot and have held up well. I haven't turned them into barn boots and tormented them yet....they're still my 'dress up' boots.
Justins seem to fit me better. I have narrow feet and a high arch.

I must have abnormally large calves! Ha ha! I have other boots I've had to do the same thing with. These ones are just so pretty I hate to cut them, even though you never see the tops! |

| They are a great company with a quality product. I do have a couple of pairs of Anderson Bean, but I mostly wear Rios Of Mercedes (same company) because they fit my feet better. The nice thing about AB and RofM is that you can order exactly what size you need, including widths. Find someone who knows how to properly fit boots (it's a little different than shoes) and make sure you get the correct fit. My in-laws sell boots at their leather repair shop, and they only sell stuff that is excellent quality and is able to be repaired (new soles and heels). They also make sure to get a correct measurement, you'd be surprised at how many people are wearing the wrong size of boot.
I agree about the Horse Powers, they are a cheaper and lower quality boot. For someone that doesn't want to spend a lot and won't wear them too hard they are a great option. I live in my boots, though, so I need something that will last. I can go through several new soles and heels before the vamps ever wear out. |

Location: Midwest Farmer's Daughter: Central Illinois | I have a pair of AB's, a pair of Rios & a pair of Advantage (made by Rios) & all three are FANTASTIC.
The Advantage & Rios are crepe soles & I've told myself I'm going to have them re-soled leather when I remember to finally do it. The crepe wore through one pair twice & the other pair has a liner on the bottom that is really slick.
The AB's are elephant, ~6 years old & I wear them almost daily. I've had the sole on the heel replaced because I walk on the outside of my heel so it wears weird, but I have yet to have the rest of the sole replaced.
LOVE them. |

Try a pair on and just see. You won't really know until you put them on your feet. I have two pair that are tough, tough....tough as a boot so to speak. They are the only two pair I've ever tried of Anderson Bean. |

Location: Texas Big Country | For wide feet I buy the men's AB or Rios. A men's 6D = women's 8W. If you need wider then get a men's E or EE width. |

Location: Arkansas | Spend the extra money to get the Anderson Bean line. I have three pair of those that have held up wonderfully for years. Went through two pair of the Horsepower line in a year. They are still comfortable; however, they just don't hold up to abuse like the AB's do. |
